This hex nut is a machined nut made of bright steel, manufactured to DIN 934 specifications. It features metric threading and is made from uncoated, untreated steel, meaning the material itself offers little resistance to corrosion. The nut has a strength class of |6|. Please note: class |6| nuts are rated according to DIN 267-4 and have a lower load capacity than class 6 nuts rated to ISO 898-2. Under mechanical overload, the threads on either the nut or the bolt may strip.
